Basic and simple
Booked a private room for 3 nights. Got bitten quite badly by bed bugs/mosquitoes. Wifi is available in the common areas but sometimes isn't quite stable. Location is very near the beach.

alles bestens!
alles gut, gibt nix zu beanstanden. hervorzuheben ist noch die möglichkeit seine wasserflaschen kostenlos aufzufüllen, es gibt in der küche einen ordentlichen wasserfilter der in gutem zustand ist... es gibt dort auch die möglichkeit sich frühstück zu bestellen, recht einfach aber auch recht günstig (~1,60€ für vier scheiben toast mit margarine und marmelade, rühr- oder spiegelei und ein kleines stück obst).
ich würde dort wieder logieren...

Nice hostel with helpful staff
Nice hostel with helpful staff who will direct you with things to do in the area and prices you should pay! Room was comfortable but basic, don't expect much. Nice lounge area on the roof to look over everything. Great location overall. Would definitely stay here again

Manager Michael stayed up for our very very late arrival, and later very helpful with information which really made a difference getting orientated to Colombo. Lovely guy!
